It has come out that a
Hawaii state official deprived Lahaina
landowners of the water they needed to protect their properties before the fiery inferno burned it all
to the ground.
On Aug. 8
when the fires first began, the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural
Resources (DLNR) delayed the release of water requested by the West
Maui Land Co. to help keep the fire contained and well away from people's
properties.
Why did they
do this, exactly? One source claims that a "woke"
politician of a leftist bent set out to harm the people of Lahaina by intentionally depriving
them of water until after it was already too late.
M. Kaleo
Manuel, a native Hawaiian cultural practitioner and the DLNR's deputy director
for water resource management, made the decision to withhold water from
Lahaina. Manuel later released the requested water, but not until after the
fire had already run its course.
As of this
writing, neither Manuel nor any other government official in Hawaii has
commented on the revelation.

Gov. Josh Green: Water a source of great
conflict in Maui "for many years"
The West Maui
Land Co. (WML) manages a number of agricultural and residential subdivisions
all throughout West Maui. Other water regulators in the region include the
Launiupoko Irrigation Co., the Launiupoko Water Co., the Olowalu Water Co., and
the Ha'iku Town Water Association.
Four separate
sources with knowledge about the situation have pegged Manuel as the culprit in
rejecting the release of water to the fire-stricken area. Manuel reportedly
asked WML to first get permission from a kalo (taro) farm located downstream
from the company's property.
Hawaii Gov.
John Green, a Democrat, has promised a thorough investigation into this
and other strange matters related to the fires. According to an official
response from the governor's office, "conflicts over water are being
reshaped in an age of climate change and wildfires."
"One
thing that people need to understand, especially those from far away, is that
there's been a great deal of water conflict on Maui for many years," Green
said. "It's important that we're honest about this. People have been
fighting against the release of water to fight fires. I'll leave that to you to
explore."
Back in 2022,
two state senators, both from Maui, submitted a bill that would have pushed the
DLNR "to allow fresh water to be used to fight fires and pointed to West
Maui as being particularly vulnerable." That bill died without a hearing
and was never passed into law.
One would
think that in an emergency situation such as an out-of-control fire that it
would be an all-hands-on-deck kind of situation as far as getting as much water
to the scene as possible, as quickly as possible. The opposite happened in
Lahaina and West Maui.
The issue
seems to stem from Native Hawaiians' discontent with the takeover of their
homeland by what they deem to be outsiders. This includes land owners and their
water rights, which remains a point of contention across Maui.
"There
is going to be much more coming from this story of the Maui fires," one
commenter wrote about how all these anomalies and conspiracies are only scratching
the surface of the true extent of the criminality that took place behind the
scenes of this horrific incident.
"For
some reason, West Maui has become a 'media-free zone' with many highly
suspicious events surrounding the fire and how it originated in the first
place."
